This weekend I was racing off-line at Kyalami for the first time (fun track). I ran a couple of short races and in both of them I was ***ly rear-ended by Jochen Rindt after the checkered flag, well down the straight. Does this guy have an AI tweak "continue_racing_maniacally_after_conclusion_of_race" set to 1? Bizarre. Dave Ewing

Heh :-) Interestingly, if you look at the driver.ini file, you'll find that Herr Rindt as the lowest "alertness" score of all but Beltoise and Ickx. So, maybe no surprise he rearends us early brakers.

You Too? Mr Rindt took me and another car out in a race also. It was in a braking zone as I was passing the other car on the inside at Monza. Its like he didnt slow down and just ran over me. Its not just you.

I think that's Papyrus slightly exaggerating Jochen Rindt's well-known enthusiasm. I used to watch him in British Races in the sixties. He was one of the most spectacular (and talented) F1 drivers, and would take what looked like insane risks. I have never seen anyone get a car more sideways without actually spinning. He was a real "character" in the racing scene and was tragically killed doing what he loved best. I don't think he would have deliberately run anyone down from behind though.
I recently read DSJs report of the 67 Nurburgring race, and apparently Jochen Rindt in his much less powerful F2 car caused the F1 runners all sorts of embarrassment as he was faster than many of them. (F1 & F2 cars ran together in that race) - Michael
